Festival Opening Performance

Words That Move – an evening of poetry and music Poetry is a powerful art form capable of expressing emotions, thoughts, and values. It can challenge established ideas, preserve cultural traditions, and create understanding across societies and cultures. Poetry gives new language to social and political currents, and can inspire reflection and change. It can also simply be what it is: poetry. On stage are prominent Norwegian and European poets, performing solo or in collaboration with outstanding musicians. The host for the evening is Audun Vinger.
